Our Verdict
Exercise significant caution before purc
Prioritise a thorough inspection of the chassis and sills. The 2023 MOT failure specifically noted corrosion on both outer sills; you must verify if this was professionally repaired and if the corrosion has progressed. Given the high mileage, check for any evidence of oil leaks or suspension wear beyond the 'light misting' noted in 2024.
Negotiate based on the recent history of consumable replacements. The vehicle has had issues with tyres, brake pads, and shock absorbers. Ensure you request a full service history to see if the high mileage has been met with regular maintenance, as the MOT records alone do not confirm the mechanical state of the 2.0L diesel engine.
As a 2.0L diesel SUV, running costs will be influenced by its weight and engine size. Expect moderate fuel economy typical of a large diesel crossover. Tax and insurance groups for a 2016 Ford Edge are generally mid-to-high, reflecting its size and engine capacity.
Maintenance costs are likely to be higher than average due to the age and mileage. The MOT history shows frequent replacements of tyres, brake pads, and suspension components like ball joints and shock absorbers. Budget for more frequent servicing of wear-and-tear items given the 160,000+ mile odometer reading.
The most critical area to inspect is the underside of the vehicle. The 2023 MOT failure for 'both outer sills corroded' is a serious structural concern that must be checked for current stability. Additionally, inspect the suspension components; the 2024 failure for a worn nearside front ball joint suggests the suspension system may require ongoing attention.
Check the condition of all tyres and brakes. The record shows a recurring pattern of tyres being worn close to the legal limit or below requirements (seen in 2023, 2024, and 2025). Also, examine the shock absorbers, as the offside rear was noted for oil misting in late 2024, and ensure the headlamp assemblies are secure and correctly aimed, following the 2024 failure.
This 2016 silver Ford Edge has covered 160,114 miles as of December 2025, which is high for its age. The MOT history reveals several failures, including structural corrosion on the outer sills in 2023 and a high number of mechanical failures in late 2024. While it passed its most recent test, the cumulative record indicates a vehicle that has required frequent attention for wear and tear and structural integrity.
No aggregate reliability data is available for the Ford Edge to provide a comparative model reputation.
